In the first image, you provided a graph of a function labeled $h(x)$, and in the second image, there are four possible graphs for $h(x)$ labeled A, B, C, and D.

Here's an analysis of the graphs:

1. Graph A: This is a straight line that passes through the origin, with a negative slope. It looks like it represents a linear function.
2. Graph B: This is a straight line with a positive slope, likely representing another linear function.
3. Graph C: This is a parabola that opens upwards, suggesting a quadratic function of the form $h(x) = ax^2$ with $a > 0$.
4. Graph D: This is a parabola that opens downwards, suggesting a quadratic function of the form $h(x) = -ax^2$ with $a > 0$.

Conclusion:

• Based on the second image (the graph options), Graph D has been marked or circled. If you're selecting which graph represents the function $h(x)$, the one corresponding to Graph D seems to be the correct choice. This parabola opens downward, consistent with the quadratic function $h(x) = -ax^2$ for a negative coefficient of $x^2$.

Would you like further details on analyzing these graphs or their mathematical properties?
